Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Photo Safari
A small-group Alaska photographic adventure to the state’s best wildlife spots!
While superlatives strive to convey the grandeur of Alaska, they never quite manage to capture the reality. Our “Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari ” trip gets you deeper into the remote parts of Alaska far from the tourist areas that dominate other trips. We position you and your camera to capture the grandeur of a calving glacier; or at river’s edge, freezing time with your camera to capture a salmon leaping from the water and into the mouth of a patiently waiting brown bear. This is Alaska “less discovered”: bigger, wilder and more amazing than you’ve imagined. You’ve got to see it for yourself.
- Our exclusive itinerary includes close-up grizzly viewing at Brooks Falls – a rare opportunity to capture stunning images!
- Cruise among icebergs and marine wildlife aboard our chartered yacht, and stay on a private island in Kenai Fjords, with flexibility for optimal photo opportunities
- Overnight at a deluxe backcountry lodge deep within Denali National Park, far from tourist crowds

As a small group, we can be nimble, and position ourselves to maximize the best photo opportunities, and to get out early in search of the best light and the best subject matter.

Important Information
This trip ventures far afield from the typical Alaska tour where buses move long lines of cruise clients to crowded destinations. We focus on the wildlife, specifically the bears, which, naturally, should be treated with caution and respect. You will always be in the company of our expert naturalists and professional photographers who will coach you with techniques that yield the best shots, and provide insight and wisdom on bear behavior which is critical to anticipating the action. Accommodations at Brooks Lodge are with two bunkbeds and private facilities in each cabin. Solar power is available during daytime hours at Kenai Wilderness Lodge. All of our Hidden Alaska programs begin in Fairbanks and end in Anchorage.
Getting There & Getting Home
This trip begins in Fairbanks and ends in Anchorage. Arrive in Fairbanks, AK on by 5pm on Day 1 of the program as we will have a 7pm dinner orientation. You are free to depart Anchorage anytime on the final day.
